Additionally, Rihanna is currently anticipating her second child with A$AP Rocky. After successfully keeping their firstborn son's name under wraps for nearly a year, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky finally unveiled the moniker they chose for their child. 

The Daily Mail obtained the birth certificate, revealing that the couple officially named their son RZA Athelston Mayers, born on May 13, 2022. Interestingly, Athelstan happens to be Rocky's middle name, as pointed out by the publication. The name appears to pay tribute to RZA, the renowned leader of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan.

Rihanna Reveals Name Of Son

Since giving birth in May 2022, Rihanna has subtly hinted at her son's name by sporting Wu-Tang Clan merchandise. In August of the same year, she even stepped out wearing a T-shirt featuring RZA's name. These fashion choices may have been deliberate teasers leading up to the big reveal.

In an unexpected twist, Rihanna recently announced that she is expecting their second child. She shared this exciting news during her historic halftime performance at the Super Bowl in February. During the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show press conference, she reflected on how motherhood has influenced her decision-making process. Despite being only three months postpartum at the time, she contemplated whether it was the right moment to accept the offer. However, Rihanna expressed the transformative power of becoming a mother, stating that it instils a sense of empowerment that makes one feel capable of conquering any challenge.

It seems that Rihanna and Rocky are not the only celebrities who opt for uncommon names when it comes to their offspring. Earlier this year, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury welcomed their first child, a daughter, and revealed the distinctive name they had chosen for her – Bambi. Hague had previously hinted at her intention to select a unique and distinctive name for her daughter, mentioning that she had held onto the name since she was a young girl.

The choices made by these celebrity parents demonstrate their desire to break away from traditional naming conventions and embrace more unconventional and meaningful options for their children. In doing so, they celebrate personal connections, pay homage to influential figures, and create a distinctive identity for their little ones.
